Royal News: Is Prince Harry Single Again Because Of Kate Middleton?
Hollywood actress Elle Fanning, who plays Aurora in the classic Sleeping Beauty tale, recently revealed that she has a royal connection to the throne in England. Not only does she play a princess on the big screen, but she could also possibly be one in real life, too. The screen star says that not only is she related to a past king, but a future king of England's mother as well.
"It's so weird," Elle told E! News during the red carpet premiere of the film in Hollywood, "I saw it the other day. My cousins called me up and they were like, 'Look online!' I looked online and like King Edward III is my great great-great-grandfather. I was like 'Is this real?"
As far as her being cousins with Middleton, Elle says that she never would have expected it and was shocked when she first heard the news.
"It's crazy," Elle said, of her being related to Prince William's wife. "I've always wanted to do the ancestry.com thing because I think it would be really cool. But someone did it for me, which I think is great."
Disney's Maleficent, which also stars Angelina Jolie as the titular character and is directed by Robert Stromberg, debuts in theaters nationwide this Friday.
